This morning, it was rare for the whole family to have breakfast together at the table. Seeing this scene, I seemed to see that the gloomy expression on my father’s face had somewhat eased. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the atmosphere was quickly destroyed.

"Oh, the Lord God's family is having breakfast, that's really disturbing."We were pulled apart by a man, and an old woman came in behind her. No. 4 apologized for not interrupting.

The father put down the bowl he had just finished and looked at the old woman.

"What's the matter with coming here so early today?"

"Of course there is something important, I wonder if we can talk about it."

My father's face was gloomy. He didn't know what he was thinking. When I saw this

"Sakura, Rin, let's go back to the house"

"Why?"

I grabbed their hands and left quickly from the other side of the door. When I passed by the old woman, I saw an unknown smile on the old woman's face. When I came out of the door, I saw a girl in a kimono following the old woman. He looked about the same age as me, and he smiled when he saw me. I just glanced at him and left through a few men standing aside.

"He is indeed a clever kid, now we can talk."The old woman looked at me leaving and turned to her father and said

"...Let's change places.."........

In the main hall

"How about it? Lord Eightfold God, my proposal is very charming, hehe."The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles on her face looked even more ferocious.

"Sure enough, you are thinking about this! Who doesn’t know what your real purpose is!"My father said with some warmth and anger.

"Don't say that to Lord Yae, you have also seen the miserable situation of your Yae family now. It is impossible for the next generation to survive just by relying on those three brats."

"Then I won't agree to it either.!"

"Eightfold God Lord, what else are you dissatisfied with? Let your kid marry my granddaughter, so that our two families will be connected. With our family, your family will become stronger again. Why not do it?"The old woman said calmly

"It's powerful, but I don't know whose family is powerful!"My father gritted his teeth when he said this.

"As long as we get married, why are our families still so clearly divided? When the time comes, our clan will still be the largest family in the village, and your Yae family will still be able to maintain its current status."

"......"

"And I can guarantee that our two families will never treat those three people badly after we get married, how about that? Think about it carefully. In fact, for your Yae family now, it doesn’t make much difference in the eyes of others whether you accept it or not. It’s just that our two families have united. I believe other people in the village will also be happy to see it.!"Seeing that her father was a little shaken, the old woman said again. At first she promised, then she said she would not change, and finally she sounded like a threat.

It took a long time.

"......If you can guarantee what I just said.....I agreed..."The father raised his head and looked at the old woman and said in a deep voice

"Hahaha! I knew you would agree!"The old woman laughed happily.....

My two sisters and I stayed in the room. Sakura sat behind Rin, and I sat behind Sakura. We were combing the hair of the person in front of us.

I took the comb and started brushing it from the top of Sakura's head, and it was all the way to the end in one go. I looked at the comb that was not tangled at all and didn't get a single hair stuck on it, and said to Sakura with a smile.

"Sakura, your hair doesn’t need to be combed at all. It’s all done in one go, and it hasn’t fallen out yet."

"Well, my sister spends a lot of time taking care of her hair every day recently." Sakura heard Rin say before she said anything.

"Well, it turns out that caring for girls’ hair requires a lot of time and energy."I said, stroking Sakura's hair.

"Isn’t my brother’s hair pretty good too?"

"mine?"

"I didn't take special care of mine, it just grew like this on its own."I scratched my head and said casually

"I'm so envious. I don't need to take special care of it."

"dong dong dong"

"Lord Yue, Lord God and Mother-in-law please go to the main hall."At this time I heard a knock on the door and the man outside the door shouting

"I know, go right away!"After hearing my response, the person at the door left.

"calls me?"

"What could it be?"Sakura leaned into my arms and raised her head and asked.

"Are you looking for your brother to fight against ferocious beasts again?"Rin also turned around and asked worriedly.

"Probably not. I have already walked around the outskirts of the village before, and the surrounding area has basically been cleaned up."

"I'll go check it out and be back soon."

When I came to the main hall, I knocked on the door.

"Come in"

"excuse me."

I walked in and saw my father and the old woman sitting side by side. Next to the old woman was the girl I just saw. I walked up and sat down.

"I called you here because I have something to inform you. said the father and glanced at the old woman

"My mother-in-law and I have decided to give you an engagement, and the object is her granddaughter."

"That's right, your fiancée is the one behind me. Come on, Kako, say hello to Yue."The old woman pointed at the girl behind her and said, the smile on her face getting stronger and stronger.

"Hello, Mr. Yue, I am Jia Zi. I would like to ask for your advice, little lady."The girl stepped forward and pointed three times and said

".....Father, what does this mean?"My face was gloomy. I never thought that this would happen to me.

"I know it may be difficult for you to accept this sudden news to you, but we have already discussed it, and this matter will be a good thing for you and our Yae family!"

"But..."

"No but! This matter has been decided. We are not here to discuss it with you, we are just here to inform you!"My father interrupted me and scolded me.

"....I see"

"Very good, haha, then we will go back today. We will discuss the details after the sacrifice."The old woman showed an intriguing smile on her face, took the girl and left.

"Then, Lord Yue, I am rude."The girl saluted me and then left with the old woman.

My father and I stood at the door and watched the two people leaving. I left silently.

"you need to know! This matter has been decided, and it is a good thing!"My father's low voice came from behind, but I ignored it.

When I was walking back to Sakura's room, I saw two little heads exposed behind the pillars in the corridor.

"Eavesdropping again? Forget it, go back to the room first"......

"Brother, is what you just said true? Your father has made a marriage contract for you." Sakura asked after entering the door.

"Yes, it seems that the incident is still confirmed, and it sounds like there is no room for maneuver."I showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Is the target the girl who left just now?"

"...Um"

"So, does elder brother like her?"

"How is it possible? I just saw her for the first time today"

"What should I do, brother?"

"I don’t know either, alas~" I sighed slightly

"By the way, why did the father make a marriage contract for his brother?"Rin asked at this time

"Yes, why did father agree?"

"I have heard before that our clan does not guarantee the use of spiritual knives in order to maintain the purity of our bloodline. We all marry within the clan. I originally thought that it would be my sister who would marry my brother in the future....Uh-huh."Rin was covered by Sakura before she finished speaking.

Although I didn't finish speaking, I probably already knew what was going on. I glanced at Sakura, who was blushing:

"is this real?"I asked carefully

"....."Yeah." Sakura held Rin in her arms and sat by the window, burying her face in Rin's hair and saying softly.

"Brother, don’t you know?"

"Um, um, has anyone said this before?"

"It must be that my brother was dozing off during the previous lectures."

Faced with Rin's questioning and teasing, I turned my head and touched the back of my head in embarrassment.

I glanced at Sakura and found that she still didn't dare to show her face. In order to relieve the embarrassment, I started asking Rin what he had said when teaching before. Later I found out that I Really don't know anything....

Time flies. Two days before the sacrifice,

I rarely practiced sword practice. I sat in the side hall with a spiritual sword in my hand. After practicing and killing ferocious beasts recently, I found that sometimes I can predict the opponent's actions more and more often. More and more, because I didn't find similar skills on the skill board so I concluded that this is not a skill.

Later, I calmed down and thought about what it was like every time this happened, but every time I was about to catch that feeling, it disappeared.

"I didn't succeed today either, it was obviously close."I opened my eyes and looked at the slightly glowing Sakura Fukiyuki. I sighed slightly and stood up to put the knife back.

The next day before dawn, I heard a lot of noise outside.

I opened my eyes and looked at the dim room. It wasn't day yet. Is it bright?

"Um? What happened to my brother?"Ying Sakura in her arms was also woken up. She rubbed her eyes and said in a vague voice.

"I don’t know, just keep sleeping and I’ll take a look."I took Ying's hand away from me, changed the quilt again, and gently opened the door.

I happened to see my father coming out of the door in the distance. There were several people in the yard. After seeing my father,

"The Lord God is in trouble! The sacrifice is missing!"One of them shouted

"what happened! ?"After hearing this, my father seemed to wake up a lot and asked loudly.

"When we went to change our shift today, we found that the two people guarding the wooden house had passed out and the bamboo house was empty. The guard hadn't woken up yet and we didn't know what happened."

"How could this happen?"

"Let’s go to the bamboo house now!"Suddenly my father spotted me

"...Yue, come too!"
